DESIGNER UNKNOWN THE GREAT HAGENBECK - WALLACE CIRCUS / SEALS. 1933. 49 1/2x28 inches, 126x71 1/4 cm. Erie Litho. & Ptg. Co., Erie. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins and image; restored loss in upper margin; creases in image and along unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; text banner affixed to bottom; paper insert in lower image. In a world where imitation may not have been the sincerest form of flattery, but the easiest way to produce a poster, it must be noted that in 1924, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus produced a poster featuring basically the same image and the exact same text promoting the act at the bottom. Circus p. 213 (var).
